Also get a Sam’s Club/costco membership. At Sam’s club they have 93% lean beef at around 5-6 dollars per pound, depends on your area. Get a food scale if you don’t already have one. Get a spray oil for when you’re pan cooking stuff to reduce how much oil you’re using. I make a pan fried vegetable medley most mornings, with eggs and ham steak. Vegetables are cheap and can be cooked to be flavorful.
I often get that feeling of “oh well, today is different. I can eat a little extra junk food/skip the gym/etc whatever excuse. But the data I’ve collected doesn’t support that mindset. It shows how many calories I’m over or under. The graph shows how many exceptions I’ve made, or how many times I go to the gym. If you think like me, this may help.
